Migrating From Older Versions

Moving to Wing 6 from earlier versions should be easy. The
first time you start Wing 6, it will automatically convert your
preferences from any older version of Wing and place them into
your User Settings Directory.

Wing 6 can be installed and used side by side with older versions
of Wing and operates completely independently. Projects from earlier
versions of Wing will be converted and opened as untitled, and
should be saved to a new file name since older versions of Wing
cannot open Wing 6 projects.

Licensing

Wing Personal is now free. Perpetual licenses for Wing Pro 5 and earlier that are not
covered by Support+Upgrades must be upgraded before they can be activated for Wing Pro 6.
This can be done in the online store.

Compatibility Changes in Wing 6

Wing 6 makes some incompatible changes in terms of which Python and OSes versions
are supported, and in some of its feature set.

Supported Python Versions

Support for Python 3.1 was dropped. Python versions 2.5 through 2.7 and 3.2 through
3.7 are supported.

Wing now prefers the latest Python version even if it is Python 3.x

Supported OSes

Wing no longer runs on older Windows versions. Windows 7 and later are supported.
